Download Software
NEW V 2.01If you have had any trouble programming with Version 1, please
download this latest version of the software. It has fixed the
problem on my computer and others.

The Alpha 10 “Max”
Can also be programmed for the standard set of Export channels just by a
button push on the outside of the radio. That will eliminate the 10M
band though and require reprogramming via CD and cable to get it back.
Programming via Computer allows more flexibility by offering the option
to change Operating Frequencies and Channel Spacing. Of course, all
other programmable settings can also be set via the software. The USB
Cable plugs into a small Programming Jack inside the Radio. The Software
is Windows Based and comes with Drivers to support the cable.

Comply with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to

NOTE: The OLD instructions with the Alpha 10 Max have a Warning about using
other Microphones on the radio. They caution the user about +5VDC on Pin
4 of the Mic Socket. Although this is true, the AM-1000 has a built in
dropping resistor that prevents any damage to the unit. Connecting a
Microphone with Standard Cobra Wiring WILL NOT Damage the Radio!
(No Modification to Pin 4 is Necessary)

The item most
overlooked when ordering a custom radio is the microphone.
Your new tuned radio will NOT sound great with a stock mic
on it.
If your CB is more than a tool for work, you NEED to
upgrade your microphone. My personal favorites are the
Astatic 636L and
RD104E.
